Once upon a time and with surprising frequency, dragons kidnapped helpless princesses. As the ultimate romantic gesture, heroic princes fought the dragons and saved the damsels in distress. At least, that's the story you've been led to believe. But here's a little secret: Sometimes the dragon saved the princess from the princes... In the kingdom of Marshwood, everybody lives happily ever after - orphans, stepmothers, everybody. King Wesick is wise and beloved. Queen Mattea is beautiful and kind. Prince Nolan is handsome and brave, and his sister Littagale is smart and talented. But when it comes time for Princess Littagale to marry, suddenly the dragon Tor flies down from Mount Shadow, kidnaps the princess, and flies her to his dark lair. "Oh, no! The horror! Who will save her?” cry the townspeople. With great fanfare and the cologne of testosterone, princes from near and far arrive in Marshwood and vow to rescue the princess – in exchange for the honor of becoming her husband and inheriting the kingdom. The townspeople rejoice, place bets, and everyone waits to see who will defeat Tor and save Princess Littagale. But what secret is Queen Mattea hiding? And why does Tor have a spa in his lair?

The fair maiden, Gabriella…That was how I often began the tales. I recited them by memory, I added myself as the heroine, and daydreamed about them all day long. Fairy tales were a wonder – a portal to a place and time where lived gingerbread men, terrible wolves, and brilliant pigs. They were a way for me to escape without ever having to leave home.Home was with Uncle Harrison. I repaid his hospitality with servitude, and I protected myself from his fist with obedience. But it wasn’t all terrible. It certainly wasn’t perfect, but was still my home. I was content, and I didn’t want anything to change.But while I hid after another violent beating from him, I found papers that would change everything. Everything that I thought I knew about my life was a lie, and to make it right, I have to leave my treasured home. My travels will take me on an amazing journey to a place where fairy tales are no longer an escape, but a reality. A place where fables are historical, where riddles reign supreme, and where nothing is what it seems. Everything will change, but I must learn to accept it. I must learn to welcome the future, release the past, and never look back. Change is what I make it.So, I will make it a tale.
